YOU and God

Nowadays people's idea of a strong and serious Christian is someone who regularly goes to church and religious gatherings. Somehow the meaning of the term 'Christian' have been changed for the worse. You see Christians living off of what they heard at church. You see people believing that they can't have a close relationship with God like their pastor does.... Many times, I've heard people admire powerful men/women of God and say that they can never be like them.

Okay just so it's clear, no one is better than the other. Realize that everybody started from the bottom and worked their way towards a close relationship with God. You have your own chance, you have as many hours as those people have in a day. Spend time with God. Yes! Have some quiet time with Him.

Honestly, I've found that my most beautiful times with God were not in the church, but in my room, where it's just me and Him. There was no pastor, no preacher, no choir, nobody..just me and God. You learn firsthand from God, straight from His mouth and you don't have to depend on Sunday sermons. This is also how you learn to worship because the Holy Spirit comes and fellowships with you. You create your own bond between you and God, you experience Him yourself. You come to know Him for who He is and then you'll have no doubt about the true existence of God.

And this is the problem with Christians, a lot of us haven't truly experienced God for ourselves. All we know is what we have been told by other people and if that's the case, we can't defend our faith before other people because we are shaky and are not solely rooted in Christ.

We also have to understand that the Christian race is a personal race. Your pace is different from the other person's, it's not a competition. When you stand on the final day, you're going to be alone. You won't be judged in comparison with other people. So why not go for it? Get to know God personally! I give you my word, He's the sweetest person you'll ever encounter.
Love and peace always. <3
